Blossom!

Life is too busy - lots of things to do in relation to the choir of which I'm chair, in preparation for a concert and, four weeks later, a Come & Sing (with catering). Also my other choir is having a concert in between these two events. Some tricky music! But lovely. Well, one piece is Britten's St Nicolas, which is less to my taste, though it has jolly bits. But otherwise Mozart, more Mozart and Purcell. 

The weather has often been beautiful, and I have much to do in the garden and not enough time. But look at my little cercis tree! It's almost too pink!

We had a day off from tasks on Saturday and went down with Daughter 1 to Selkirk in the Borders to see an exhibition by the (a?) Borders quilting group. It was great. Some of the quilts were quite modern, so more Britten than Mozart, but all were very impressive. 

I like this leaf. 

I like the colours of this one, though it's a bit exhausting to look at. Excuse my shadow.

One day I'd like to make some little houses, though with less orange. 

This was extremely impressive!

We had a little walk to see the nursing home where Mr L was born. It's now a clinic for young people with mental health problems. 

It has a lovely garden, though I doubt if these cherry trees were in it in May 1948, when he first came down those steps to start his life.
